Valentine's Day Messaging

Look at you go! You thought ahead, figured
out which arrangement you wanted to send to your significant other, got all the
information together for the delivery. . . you've called or stopped by your
local Cactus Flower and placed your order. I mean, you're scooting along at a
steady speed. . . and then we ask, "What would you like to say on the card
message?" Skreeeech!

Oh, the looks we get from this one simple question: dumbfoundment, fear,
agony, anxiety, queasiness, deer-in-the-headlights, confusion. While some
of these expressions have made us laugh out loud, we feel it's only fair to
help you out a little bit. Here are some of the best tried and true card
messages we've heard over the years:

SENDING A FEW DAYS AHEAD OF TIME:
"I love you so much, I couldn't wait for Valentine's day."
or
"Couldn't wait for another day to say I love you."

ROMANCE:
"You take my breath away, today and every day."

TOGETHER A LONG TIME:
"Cupid's aim is still pretty good."

ACROSS THE MILES/OUT OF TOWN
"Sending all my love your way."

SENDING ONE DOZEN ROSES:
"I usually tell you that I love you a couple times a day. Today,
I'll make it a dozen!"

SENDING THREE DOZEN ROSES OR EXTRA LARGE MIXED BOUQUET:
"If actions speak louder than words, this is my way of shouting."

SENDING AN UNUSUAL NUMBER OF ROSES:
"One rose for every year I've loved you."*
*Disclaimer: it is up to you to know how many years you've been together.
If you send 7 and you've been together 9, well...You'll have to explain either
which two years you didn't love her, or how you weren't really paying attention
to how long you've been together....
